An interesting article in today's Washington Post about a successful Homeland Security program. It seems it is so successful and efficient (that's not often the case with Federal Government programs) that the title of the article is "Border Policy's Success Strains Resources"
Of course the Illegal Immigration lawyer lobby and the ACLU aka Alien Civil Liberties Union is upset with the idea of the incarceration illegal immigrants especially when a program is successful. Here are some of the money quotes from the article:
"The $65 million tent city, built hastily last summer between a federal prison and a county jail, marks both the success and the limits of the government's new policy of holding captured non-Mexicans until they are sent home. Previously, most such detainees were released into the United States before hearings, and a majority simply disappeared" (emphasis by BCP)
Here's another money quote and the bottom line!
"The new policy has led to a dramatic decline in border crossings by non-Mexicans, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency."
The say you can't knock success but, the ACLU and the pro illegal lobby and of course the immigration attorneys are certainly trying much to the detriment of the middle class American taxpayers and law abiding citizens.
